Creating a reference to an automated test script at a shared location

You can create a reference to an automated test script residing at a shared location. When you run the test script, Quality Manager makes a copy of the test script and runs it on a local test machine.

Before you can reference a test script from a shared location, an administrator must make the shared resources available.

Note: Each test tool implements its own integration with Quality Manager. The instructions provided here may not cover all of the details of each integration. Be sure to refer to the specific test tool for further details.
To create a reference to an automated test script that resides at a shared location:
  1. From the left sidebar, point to the Construction icon (Construction), and click Create Test Script.
  2. Type a name for the new test script.
    Tip: Be sure to use a name that is the same or similar to the name of the actual test script.
  3. Click Click here to enter a description to enter a description of the new test script reference.
  4. Select one of the following test script types:
    1. For Rational® Performance Tester, select Performance Test.
    2. For Rational Service Tester, select Service Test.
    3. For Rational® Test RealTime™, select Rational Test RealTime.
    4. For Rational Functional Tester, select Functional Tester.
    5. For Rational Robot, select Robot.
  5. In the Script Details section, select Use test resources from a shared location and then click Browse.
  6. Select a Test Plan if the resource has been added to a test plan or leave Test Plan unassigned.
  7. Select a shared location from the list.
  8. Click OK.
  9. For Functional Test scripts, supply the appropriate Script arguments.
    1. Click Script arguments.
    2. For Script Arguments, type any arguments that you want to pass to the functional test script during execution.
    3. For Execution Arguments, type any arguments that should go in the execution command line of the script, such as - classpath.
    4. For Datapool Iteration Count, type the number of iterations that the script should run if the script is associated with a datapool.
  10. Click Save.
  11. For Functional Test scripts, click Source View to view the source code of the test script.
  12. To confirm that your test script is created, point to the Construction icon (Construction) along the left sidebar, and click All Test Scripts.
